It also shows Ground Track, Bearing, Ground Speed, Altitude, Distance to Airport and Estimated Time of Arrival at current speed.

Press MAP and you have a moving map with "Press and Go." With the map visible, press any place on the map and the Lat/Lon from that location will be stored in the destination list.

Choose to immediately navigate to that location. In this case the navigation bearing line will be redrawn. Edit the name of the location in the Flight Plan screen at any time
